Two years ago Wayne Rusk ran for HD 88 with a vision in mind of Uniting the Convervative Community of Ravalli County. He decisively won a tough campaign battle against Alan Lackey, despite the fact that he was “Manzella Approved”.
I believe he is getting closer to accomplishing his vision. The next step is unseating Mrs. Manzella from her senate seat. Wayne will bring a new type of leadership to SD 44. He will bring hope and optimism, not fear and discontent. He will bring a love of country and community, not strife and the latest conspiracy theory. He will bring courage to make tough choices when needed rather than just go with the status quo.
Wayne understands that many people in our community are tired of the extreme sides of both political parties. Both the right and left have gone too far off the deep end of some issues. He is not afraid to point out where Republicans have gone past the point of being conservative and also not afraid to see where there is some common ground among our democrat neighbors….don’t we all want lower property taxes and schools that are the best they can be. No one wants a round-about!
Wayne believes that how you treat people matters…that its not ok to lie and personally attack your opponent under the cover of “its just politics”. He has too much integrity to ever set the Christian ideals aside of loving your neighbor as yourself. He is able to withstand the outright lies and slander against him and is willing to do so because of how much he cares about our community. Beware of the truth being twisted. Anyone who knows Wayne knows that he would never want non-citizens to vote (a lie being spread) He has spent so much of his life hunting, fishing. He has passed love of the outdoors along to his kids as well. He will always protect these rights. Don’t believe the lies that he won’t.
If you are tired of your elected leader telling you, bulling you, or outright shaming you into how you should feel, then now is your chance to vote for a new choice for SD 44. Please cast your vote for Wayne Rusk on June 4th.
